[ysth]

Because no one else did, and I am impatient.

[JD]

Patience young padawan

[Tuitsuro]

It's a little known fact that Martin also moonlights as a narrator for public access documentaries. 

[Is it cold in here?]

So what was Faye doing standing outside the restroom with her arms folded? Was she in hiding from the Wrath of Dora?

Is Faye being preemptively jealous?

[akronnick]

Trying to hold it. The person in there now is taking FOR-EV-ER!

[Crab]

One simalcrum, two simalcra. It's third declension, people!

Remember,member, every day, neuter PLURALS end in -a!

...goddamnit, I didn't even take latin.

Or there's some sort of hideous queue. Seriously ladies, I don't know how you manage without doing a small jig or something. Or do you go like 10 minutes before you think you'll need to?

I like how the door says 'Bitchez'. What would the mens say?

I wonder what Dora calls the hamster.

[plethora]

Jigs. They happen.
Also, that's one of the (many) reasons we go in groups. Someone to take your mind off it.

Faye does look weirdly upset, though.

[willstarrunner]

Ha. Funny enough, I've got a hamster I named after Dora.

[Akima]

One simalcrum, two simalcra.

One simulacrum, two simulacra actually. Or, if you don't like Latinisms, one simulacrum, two simulacrums. How many people use fora as the plural of forum these days? Or dogmata as the plural of dogma? Who knows, perhaps abandoning Latin plurals might discourage people from using media, criteria, and data as if they were singular nouns.

Or maybe, robot-Dora is only one of many, possessed of a distributed-cluster AI which has problems with the whole singular/plural concept...

ah latin, i miss it from highschool.  Was fun back then.  I think its cool Marten is tutoring Marigold on beer.

I like how the door says 'Bitchez'. What would the mens say?

Dicks?

[Tormuse]

Can anyone read what it says on Marigold's shirt?  I've been staring at her boobs the writing trying to make it out and it looks like "Science is a [something] now."

SCIENCE
It works, Bitches.

On the back is a graph of the universe's temperature spectrum from the COBE mission or something, which almost perfectly matches up with the theoretically predicted black body spectrum.

Oh, but why, Mr. Wizard?  Why does it match up so well?

Because it's

SCIENCE.
It works, Bitches.

[Near Lurker]

It sounds like an attempt to feminize it, like alumnus/alumna, but it doesn't really work since it wasn't masculine in the first place...

[LTK]

Does the Horrible Revelation have these bathroom signs too? If the men's room said 'dicks', though, I would have expected them to be consistent and make the ladies' say 'pussies'.

The shirt doesn't say "It works, bitches", it says "Is a (...) now".

[jonarus_drakus]

oh, my, god... I just remembered that when i was in primary school i had a pet Guinea Pig that looked like Dora!...

ITS THE HAIR PEOPLE! My Guinea Pig (which i named 'Precilla', coz the boy one was 'Elvis' - also coz of the hair) was black with a tan patch on the top of its head.


We'll be right back  ...

[nichidani]

faye does seem to be a little jealous, but she's always been protective of marten.

dora swings between mad insecurity and calm level-headness quite frequently. i kinda like that, since i can relate. and i suppose most ladies can, also.

[nichidani]

ohh, and i believe marigold's shirt says

"SCIENCE! its a verb now."

[Binary]

Yes:-

SCIENCE
  It's a verb now

is what I can make out after downloading and blowing up the graphic. Which begs the question, what does the slogan actually mean?

Also, I have never been in a bar that served beer in shot glasses. Although that is an awesome idea. I would be more adventurous in sampling different beers if I wasn't worried about being stuck with a pint of something undrinkable.

[Border Reiver]

I've been in some bars that do that - although the glasses usually hold about 250ml (one cup) - it was nice to be able to sample different types.  If I remeber right, you paid about the equivalent of two pints for the privilege.

[Juniper Jade]

Yeah Faye does seem a little upset, just by her body language and what she said in the second panel. I'm not sure if Jeph meant for it to seem like that or not... I think he did. Kind of annoying on Faye's part if she is getting jealous, that's Dora's job. Speaking of Dora... she's annoying.

[Headwoünd]

[...] is what I can make out after downloading and blowing up the graphic. Which begs the question, what does the slogan actually mean?

Just f'in science it.


Beer with chocolate.. who is to blame for this abominable offspring? In the name of the Reinheitsgebot I demand answers.

No but seriously, I gotta try this.. to the Irish pub!

[JD]

[Binary]

If I remember right, you paid about the equivalent of two pints for the privilege.

Well, that is considerably less awesome. And very bad marketing.

Not really, considering four cups is two pints.

You may need to go to a nice wine store to find some Chocolate stouts, as well as a world of other beers you may have been unaware of. My personal favorite chocolate stouts are made my Rogue and Southern Teir. Youngs Double Chocolate stout is okay and probably easiest to find, but it's fairly unbalanced and best served with food.(Deep chocolate desserts, etc.) Brooklyn makes a chocolate stout that isn't too bad either. My only complaint with that one is it is much more malty compared to the others, but that maltiness may indeed suit your taste.

[JohnTheWysard]

Also, I have never been in a bar that served beer in shot glasses. Although that is an awesome idea. I would be more adventurous in sampling different beers if I wasn't worried about being stuck with a pint of something undrinkable.

I was at the Boise Green Expo a couple of weeks ago; it was held in loose conjunction with a beer fest with about 30 Northwest breweries. You could buy a set of eight tickets - each ticket got you a roughly two-ounce sample of beer (or you could cash in four tickets for a glass of beer).

The hazelnut ale was the most interesting, but the Black Butte porter was the most satisfying.

[JohnTheWysard]

I think Dora has much less to worry about Marigold than about the foxy babe from the library...

Of course Marigold may be going to blossom soon, but that's a long "soon" I suspect!

[Thorbard]

There's a chain of pubs here in the UK that do 3 one third pints of the specials whenever theres a 'beer festival' for the price of a pint of any of them.

[Juniper Jade]

Speaking of Dora... she's annoying.

What

I am not a fan of Dora and her switching from one extreme to another. I know we girls are finicky and have our mood swings but for whatever reason I find Dora extremely annoying when she does it.

[Shadic]

After the bout with Shy Library Girl, she's been pretty good about jealousy, actually. Remember the random redhead in CoD?

[Binary]

The foxy babe from the library is doing Steve now...

I read the OP as saying you were served a cup and charged for two pints. Yes, four cups would be a better deal. A whole bunch of shot-sized measures would be better still.

London bartenders - make it so!

[celticgeek]

I have been in microbreweries where they do this (four samples of various beers, about 250 ml each) and offer a little sheet telling about each of the drinks in the batch.  Kind of a fun way to check out new beers. 

[nichidani]

is what I can make out after downloading and blowing up the graphic.

dang. i didn't have to blow it up.

i just squinted. of course, i'm horribly farsighted and see tiny things the best for some reason.

[Manix]

You know, with this hair Dora looks kinda like this one girl on Ace of Cakes? I gotta find her name.

[AnkhWL]

Apparently Faye can't comprehend people learning from their mistakes. OH NOES.

[Kugai]

We are the Dora... We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own... Resistance is futile...

I hear The Borg's lawyers are looking for you.    

I think Faye's being a bit childish here.  It's almost as if she's jealous of Marigold taking attention away from her.  Then again, knowing her insecurities, she probably feels threatened by Marigolds sudden inclusion into their little group.

Dora's punishment work here is done.  Though I don't thing she would be mean enough to let Faye wet herself - Would she??
 

[Is it cold in here?]

I smiled at Dora being insecure about whether she's overcome insecurity.

[akronnick]

Faye doing the Pee-pee dance, I love it!

The real question is, is Faye the kind of person who can't pee if someone's talking to her? (Think Elliot Reed on Scrubs)

[Is it cold in here?]

Or for an example closer to home, Hannelore (from the story line featuring her mother, which I can never find in the archives).

[Juniper Jade]

Hahaha yes! I love Faye and her pee pee dance! For whatever reason I love her face in the last panel.

Ergh... Dora...

[Delirium]

Oh man, I've been in that same damn situation, and I, absolutely CANNOT pee whilst being talked to. There was a guy back in high school who figured that out, and used it against me. How fucking low.

[Kugai]

Decidedly evil        

[soniku64]

Anyone notice the black woman walking out of the bathroom is a Faye twin?

[JD]

Not really

[Delirium]

other than the fact that she has different hair, a markedly different jawline and facial shape, thicker arms, smaller and higher boobs, is narrower-hipped and less chubby, YEAH! she's a total Faye clone! Of the african persuasian!

[akronnick]

Totally the same except for all the stuff that's different!

[alienatedduck]

I like how we saw both Faye doing a jig and the title revealing the bathroom name (Sons of Bitchez). If only we knew what the hamster was called!
